• Drive business development by identifying project delivery differentiators, developing value propositions, and providing pre-sales technical support for bids and proposals
• Coordinate proposal efforts including strategy, budget, and preliminary design to support competitive bids
• Introduce innovative approaches to mechanical system design and facility problem-solving aligned with evolving client and regulatory requirements
• Train and mentor engineering staff on advanced technology facility design, lessons learned, and best practices
• Maintain and develop client relationships to generate leads and support repeat business
• Work closely with client account managers and business development managers to position and develop projects across the Americas region
• Ensure designs are consistent with industry-accepted practice, leading-edge technologies, and client-preferred standards
• Represent the firm in front of mature industry audiences and client stakeholders

What we need from you
